A Newport customer in Bangalore, India, is using a test and validation process with a shadowgraph technique in an automated test station to measure the flame resistance of polymer samples. Newport’s ILS series linear stages and IMS series long-travel linear stages, combined with the shadowgraph technique and automation software, helped reduce overall production cycle times, offering excellent accuracy, speed and repeatability for travels ranging from 200–600 mm.
